    My prayers to the family in this trying time. Mr. Ken always helped us out–getting people to line the baselines, work on mounds, it didnt matter.

    He will be greatly missed, but I know he is in a better place now where the fields are perfect. ch

    I got to know Ken through youth baseball at Bryant. We worked together on several projects over the years. You could always count on Ken. There is no way of knowing how many lives he effected with his love of parks and his willingness to help the youth programs. He was a friend and a good man, he will be missed. We need more people like Ken. Steve

    Ken will be greatly missed. He always made sure that the girls had the best chance to play ball even if it had rained the same day. He and his crew worked hours on end to provide the bes playing environment possible. Thank you Ken for everything you did. You will be missed. Thoughts and prayers go out to Ken’s family in this rough time.
